Cartier Santos Dumont ref. 96061 „deux ors“

A rare and elegant interpretation of Cartier’s most iconic design, this Santos-Dumont GM Extra-Plate is presented in the seldom-seen “Deux Ors” configuration, combining the warmth of yellow gold with the refined contrast of a white gold bezel. This sophisticated pairing accentuates the clean architectural lines of the Santos case, paying homage to the original aviation-inspired watch created for Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904. Housed in an ultra-thin case, this reference 96061 is powered by Cartier’s manual-wind caliber 21, celebrated for its slim profile and reliability. The classic Cartier aesthetic is fully present on the dial: crisp Roman numerals, a chemin de fer minute track, and blued steel hands – timeless hallmarks of the Maison’s Parisian elegance. This piece, with its extra-flat construction and rare bimetallic gold combination, offers a refined and discreet presence on the wrist. A quintessential dress watch from one of the world’s most storied maisons, it remains a sought-after collectible for enthusiasts of vintage Cartier and early luxury wristwatch design.
